Xie Jingde was thrown into the county jail, and he was naturally unwilling to be arrested, so he roared loudly in anger: "Come on, come ...... man" His voice was very loud, and it was heard far away in the narrow and rancid prison.

It's a pity that he screamed out of his throat, and no one paid attention to it, he seemed to be completely forgotten by everyone.

What's going on out there?

His throat was already tearing and painful, and Xie Jingde had to shut up in a gloomy manner. He sat down slowly against the moss-covered stone wall, but his heart burned as if it were burned by fire.

The errand assigned by the master was smashed by him, and the batch of military rations was robbed halfway through, and he was also regarded as the mastermind of everything.

Thinking of the undying anger of the old general Weng, and thinking of the thunderous anger of the master....... Xie Jingde's whole body suddenly trembled and shivered.

He slammed up and roared wildly, "Someone, someone......"

I don't know how long it took, but his voice became hoarse and ugly, like a night owl making its last low snort.

Finally, heavy footsteps came from outside the lifeless cell, and someone was scolding: "What howling, howling, it's almost busy outside, and it's not peaceful for you to be locked up here." ”

The cell door was finally opened, and a servant with a waist knife in his hand and a key ring rattling around his waist walked in.

He scolded impatiently: "What is the noise, what is the noise, I will hear you cry and howl here from a long distance, and the noise will make people unable to live in peace." ”

Xie Jingde's eyes lit up, he pounced on it, grabbed the baring of the cell hard, and said eagerly: "Brother, brother, help." Please go to the barracks and help find General Cao Lang or General Song, if you can't do it, you will be a high captain. Anyway, whoever it is, let them come over. ”

"Go to the barracks?" the official squinted at him, and said in a tone: "Can a small official like me go in such a place?" General Xie is only afraid that he is joking!"

Xie Jingde looked at the appearance of the servant's nostrils facing the sky, and hated the root of his teeth.

On weekdays, even if these people bump into themselves on the street, they all bend down respectfully and call a general.

Now that they are only showing their defeat, these little ghosts have jumped out, eager to step on them hard. It's really unpredictable, and the world is hot and cold.

Despite the shame and indignation in his heart, Xie Jingde still did not dare to give up his last hope because of his momentary anger.

With a smiling face, he tore off the crystal clear and valuable jade trick on his waist, stretched it out from the gap in the railing, and said with a smiling face: "The official is laughing, if you take this, the guards in the military camp will not dare to stop you." Afterwards, I, Xie Jingde, will not forget your kindness, and I will naturally thank you. ”

The official reached out and took the jade trick from his hand, rubbed it greedily a few times, and then raised it high to look at the bright light outside to take a closer look.

After fiddling for a long time, he bared his yellow teeth and showed a satisfied smile: "Well, yes, it's a good thing." ”

Xie Jingde's heart was overjoyed, and he said with anticipation on his face: "Official, then trouble you to go on this trip?"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" the official skillfully took the jade recipe into his arms. He slurped his teeth and said with a smile: "General, don't worry, these people you want to see have been taken down by General Weng and King Xian at this moment, and they will be put on trial in the hall of the county master!"

I've been on an errand for decades, and I've never seen so many military veterans tried in strings like grasshoppers.

Fortunately, the five sons of General Weng are not of a bad breed, and they can calm the scene at a critical time, otherwise our county master will not be able to ask.

It's not right, our county lord is actually a foil, and the presiding judge is still King Xian and General Weng.

I believe that it will not be long before they will be put in prison and meet with the general. When the time comes, you can say whatever you want, and you can do it at any time. ”

"What, they've all been arrested!" Xie Jingde grabbed the railing with both hands, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, and he said in disbelief: "How dare they come so nonsense, without the emperor's holy decree, why should he be a little prince to handle such a big military case." ”

The official squinted at him who was out of shape due to panic, and sneered: "This case was originally exposed by King Xian, why can't he handle it? The old general Weng has said that the matter is urgent, and only by handling the case as quickly as possible and punishing these rats who have wasted the lives of soldiers in the army for their own interests can we appease the morale of the army and conform to the will of the people." Let the turmoil disappear invisibly. ”

The official's remarks are tantamount to scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk, almost pointing at Xie Jingde's nose and scolding you for being a rat who has brought disaster to the country and the people.

patted the jade trick in his pocket, and the official dropped another sentence: "Don't make any more noise, wait quietly, it won't be long before the person you want to see will come to accompany you." ”

With that, he smiled contemptuously and turned and walked out of the prison door.

"How can this be, how can this be......" Xie Jingde muttered, his back against the railing slowly sliding, his eyes only dead despair.

......

In the hall of the county government, Liu Hui sat under the plaque in the blue sky and white sun, interrogating the prisoner. The old man Weng sat beside him, and the dignified county master had been reduced to a master, and he was only responsible for taking notes on the side.

Hua Lianyue watched him quietly in the corner, and suddenly remembered the former Meiling County, the red plum lined with snow, the fragrant golden cinnamon in front of the study, and the bits and pieces there. There are only a thousand tastes in my heart, and I can't tell whether it is bitter or sweet or astringent.

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but persuade: "Madam, you have also worked hard for many days. We can't get involved here, so it's better to find a place to rest. ”

Hua Lianyue shook her head and said, "No, I have something on my mind, even if I go back, I won't be able to rest well." It's better to watch it here, but my heart is steady. Xiaoxiao knew that she had paid attention, and it was useless to persuade herself, so she had to go with her.

A figure came behind them, only to hear a light cough, and the person said in a deep voice: "I know you are young and can bear it." However, the residual poison on your Uncle Weng has not yet been cleared, and he is old, so I am afraid that he will not be able to endure it. Go and persuade him to find a place to rest for a while, so that I can give him a needle to remove the poison." ”

Hua Lianyue turned around in surprise when she heard this: "Dad, why are you here?"

Liu Yiliang stood behind her, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "It's rare to meet such a bustle, of course I want to come and take a look!" Looking up at the prisoners who were crowded in the lobby, Liu Yiliang did not have a relaxed face in his conscience.

Although he was obsessed with medical skills and failed to enter the office, he was not ignorant of the affairs of the court. King Xian's thunderous anger today looked very happy, but in fact, it also buried a lot of hidden dangers for himself.

Not to mention the comments of the imperial historian on his merits and demerits in the future, even the emperor is afraid that he will not be happy in his heart. You must know that such a scandal has never been heard of in all dynasties, and even if there is, it is suppressed and hidden.

Now it has been found out and revealed to the world, in addition to saying that Xie Jingde's group is greedy and bold, they also slapped the emperor in the face.

Didn't you say that the officials ruled Qingming, didn't you say that the country and the people were safe, didn't you say that the Ming monarch who happened once in a century, as a result, such a shocking case of self-theft by the guards occurred, and the emperor's face was beaten!

Hua Lianyue didn't know that her father was worried, and she suddenly saw that the old general Weng frowned slightly, his body seemed to shake slightly, and his lips turned a little whiter. She hurriedly said, "Dad, you go to the back hall to prepare, and I'll bring Uncle Weng over later." ”

Liu Yiliang sighed slightly and went to the back hall to wait. Hua Lianyue quietly walked behind the old general Weng.

At this moment, General Weng Lang also whispered: "Dad, there is King Xian here, and a few of our brothers are watching, there is no big incident, why don't you go to the back hall to rest for a while." ”

"Don't go!" General Weng stubbornly refused: "How can there be a reason that the general will retreat first before the battle is over." ”

"Dad!" Weng Lang looked helpless, but when he looked up, he saw Hua Lianyue, who was standing behind General Weng, glaring at him.

His eyes lit up, and he nodded at her quietly. He hugged his fist at General Weng again, and whispered: "You pay attention to yourself, I'll go to help the second brother and the third brother." ”

"Go, go, don't talk about your mother-in-law here. General Weng waved his sleeves like a fly.

Weng Lang will smile slightly, turn around and stride away.

Not long after Weng Lang turned around, the old general couldn't help but secretly hammer the numb shoulders that were pressed by the heavy armor.

Although because of Liu Yiliang's timely appearance, his life was saved. But his body was completely collapsed because of the erosion of this thousand red cakes.

Hua Lianyue looked at the stubborn old man in front of her who refused to admit defeat, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour. After adjusting her mood, she called softly, "Uncle Weng, Uncle Weng!"

Old General Weng hurriedly turned his head, and when he saw that it was her, a kind smile appeared on his serious face: "What's the matter?"

Hua Lianyue said in embarrassment: "My niece is useless, I can't stay up all night, and I want to find a place to rest." ”

The old general Weng hurriedly said: "Then go quickly, go ahead, here is the old man to help King Xian watch, there will be no accident." ”

Hua Lianyue pretended to be shy and bowed her head and twisted her handkerchief, and said timidly: "Uncle Weng, you see that King Xian has been busy trying the case and doesn't even have the time to drink tea, this county niece is here for the first time, and she can't find anything with a black eye." In addition, the people in the yamen are busy with the soles of their feet facing the sky, and they really can't take care of their niece. ”

She wrung her handkerchief, smiled shyly, and said, "It's better for you to accompany your niece to the back hall to sit down, so as not to panic your niece's unfamiliar heart." ”

"Hahaha....." Old General Weng laughed violently, causing Liu Hui to look at him curiously. saw him pointing at the tip of Hua Lianyue's nose, and laughed repeatedly, "You ghost girl, where are there so many twists and turns in your stomach." ”

General Weng knew that his physical strength had been seen, and he was originally unconvinced and wanted to persevere, but Hua Lianyue obediently gave him a step, and if he didn't go down, he would faint in this hall, which would be really ugly.

Thinking of this, he stood up and said to Hua Lianyue: "Let's go, accompany your Uncle Weng to the back hall to rest for a while." ”

"Yes!" Hua Lianyue quietly winked at Liu Hui, who was looking over, and then took the arm of General Weng and walked to the back hall.

Liu Hui smiled and shook his head, retracted his gaze, and looked at General Cao Lang who was kneeling in front of him again. Although the person in front of him looked submissive, his eyes were full of vague calculations, and it really took a lot of effort to get out the words.

Back hall

Hua Lianyue waved her hand to let all the subordinates retreat, and the old general Weng, who had been holding his waist and fighting strongly, immediately withered. She and Xiaoxiao tried their best to help the almost paralyzed General Weng to the collapse.

Xiaoxiao quickly took off his helmet and loosened the armor, only to find that it was actually damp inside.

I don't know how long he was forced to hold on, but the cold sweat on his body not only wet his underwear, but even the inside of the armor could feel a hand of water.

Hua Lianyue hurriedly ordered: "This won't work, you'll catch a cold." Xiaoxiao, you go get some dry clothes to change, and then burn a brazier. ”

"Yes!" Xiaoxiao was about to step back.

General Weng hurriedly called, "Wait!"

"What else does the old general command?"

General Weng instructed: "Don't alarm others, don't let people know that the old man won't last long!" His voice was old and fluctuating, but it was firm and persistent.

"Yes!" Xiaoxiao's voice choked a little, she curtsied, and immediately turned and walked away quickly.

"Take a sip of hot water first!" Hua Liyue quickly poured a cup of hot water and brought it to his lips.

Old General Weng trembled and drank it in one gulp. Hua Lianyue's heart was sour, and after putting down the teacup, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself hard: "It's all my fault, you shouldn't ignore your body, you have to do something to lure the snake out of the hole." ”

"Silly girl, what nonsense!" Old General Weng trembled his hands and grabbed Hua Lianyue's wrist.

After coughing violently a few times, he said slowly: "Xie Jingde, this cancer, can grow so quickly, and the old man, as his superior, is also unforgivable.

Uncle Weng wants to thank you for allowing Uncle Weng to eradicate this cancer with his own hands before he died, so that he could have the face to see the emperor after his death. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he coughed violently again. Hua Lianyue hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his chest and beat his back, but this heart-rending cough made the old man almost unable to straighten his waist.

"Why do you cough so badly!"

Just when Hua Lianyue was at a loss, Liu Yiliang approached with a bowl of medicinal juice, and before he stepped into the door, he heard the painful cough of General Weng, and he hurriedly quickened his pace and entered the house.

Hua Lianyue hurriedly said: "Dad, you can take a look!"

Liu Yiliang hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, picked up the wrist of the old general Weng, and kneaded it in a light and orderly manner on the Hegu acupoint, followed by the column lack acupoint, the Fengchi acupoint, and a lot of massage before the old man gradually stopped coughing.

The old general Weng was already sweating profusely, and his face was flushed. There was a salty hot current in his throat. He naturally knew what it was, so he forcibly swallowed it back quietly.

Liu Yiliang glanced at him meaningfully, and then instructed Hua Lianyue: "Yue'er, go and bring the medicine and give it to Uncle Weng to take it while it's hot." ”

"Yes!"

After drinking a large bowl of medicine, General Weng's face looked a little better. Xiaoxiao also brought clean clothes and a brazier.

Liu Yiliang instructed again: "Yue'er, you all go out, don't hinder me from giving you Uncle Weng an needle." ”

Hua Lianyue hurriedly said: "Dad, you must not be busy alone, why don't you let me stay and help!"

"No, you will only help more and more if you stay here, get out!" Liu Yiliang sternly rejected Hua Lianyue's kindness.
